Then next time your kids visit one of their aging relatives who may be living in an assisted living center or skilled nursing home tell them to bring their laptop full of interesting pictures.

Laptops are a great device for viewing pictures by the elderly who have sight problems. The picture can be made bigger on a laptop and you can ‘zoom’ in on a face or some other interesting item in the picture so they can see it more clearly.

A lot of Seniors have trouble looking at normal size pictures unless you provide them with a magnifying glass, but a 15 inch laptop screen is perfect for Grandma or Grandpa to see pictures of their favorite grandchild kicking a soccer ball or running home to score a run.

So, break out the digital camera and really prepare for that next trip to see the grandparents. The smiles that come to their faces will warm your kid’s heart forever.
